In reply to Jenny.

We started with Chris but I was much more on-board the David change because, well, he’s cute! The husb really doesn’t like Donna and only likes Martha so-so. He probably wanted Kylie Minogue to stay on forever in that little maid outfit!

I think I actually like Martha the best because she becomes something after the Doctor leaves — sort of like Sarah Jane. The thing I liked most about Donna though was that she was the only one that really seemed like a “woman”.

David Tennant was actually the first Doctor I saw, but then I started watching from the beginning of the new series, with Christopher Eccleston; and when he changed to David Tennant, I was not at all crazy about him for several episodes. But David Tennant is my Doctor really, and I just hope I don’t carry on resenting Matt Smith.

He didn’t like Donna? I mean I liked Rose BEST, of course, and wasn’t crazy about Martha, but I liked Donna too. I thought it was sweet how good friends she and the Doctor were.

My husband and I are the same with each new doctor … I’m still not completely on board with Matt but I’m sure I will be. The people who cast this show just “get” what the doctor should be like. I have to trust them! The weird thing is that my husband doesn’t like any companions except Rose. I end up liking all of them incredibly too!

In reply to Claire (The Captive Reader). I am worried about Moffat too! I mean his episodes were all very good, and he's brilliant at doing scary things, but I'm concerned about his apparent penchant for rrrrrrromance. I didn't like River Song. I do not need her to return. :/

In reply to justbookreading. Well, the new series starts on Saturday! Or actually on the 17th if you are getting it on BBC America. I have high hopes!

I was sad when Tennant left and I haven’t watched any of the new Doctor Who yet. Must add it to the viewing list…

I’m reserving judgement on Smith as the Doctor (though he seems kind of…is adorable the right word?). I’m still most worried about Moffat (and low-cut nightgowns on teenage girls don’t do much to put those fears to rest). He may have brought us Blink, but my inner feminist remains suspicious.

It needs to be Saturday NOW.

In reply to Jenny. I think it's the way he's so eager to find out new stuff, and excited and curious, and just delighted and fascinated by unknown beings and how it all works even if they're trying to kill him. I do think this Doctor has got that quality.
